This is a project to port Android open source project to x86 platform, formerly known as "patch hosting for android x86 support". The original plan is to host different patches for android x86 support from open source community. A few months after we created the project, we found out that we could do much more than just hosting patches. So we decide to fork our code base that will provide android x86 support on different x86 platforms, and set up a git server to host it. To reflect this major change, we create this new project.
Tested platforms
The tests are done by the project members and others from android-porting group.
* Most Eee PC Models, including
o 701
o 701SD
o 900
o 900A
o 901
o 904HD
o 1000
o 1000HE
o 1000HD
o 1005HAG
o S101
o T91 (VESA mode), touchscreen works.
o Eee Top 1602C (VESA mode), touchscreen works.
o Lenovo ThinkPad x61 Tablet
Except T91 and Eee Top, all can run the native resolutions (800x480 or 1024x600) via i915 driver. Thanks to the kernel mode setting (kms) feature introduced in kernel 2.6.29.

Of course, there are other people who gave helps. But there are too many e-mails and it is very hard for me to go through each e-mail to find the related person to list here. So, if you think we missed your name here, please kindly drop us an e-mail ( contact at android-x86.org ).
